The Golden Demon is a classic attractor fly pattern designed for targeting salmon, trout, and steelhead. With its bold gold body, contrasting wing, and vibrant red tail, this fly is highly visible in both clear and slightly stained waters, making it an excellent choice for drawing aggressive strikes from predatory fish. Originally tied as a wet fly for salmon fishing, the Golden Demon has proven its effectiveness in a variety of freshwater environments.

Tied with high-quality materials, this fly features a durable gold tinsel body and flowing wing, creating a shimmering effect in the water that mimics small baitfish or aquatic insects. The Golden Demon is a top choice for swinging through runs, dead-drifting in deep pools, or using as an attractor pattern in fast-moving rivers where salmon and trout are feeding.

To fish the Golden Demon effectively, present it on a swung fly setup in rivers, allowing the current to bring it to life naturally. It can also be stripped in short bursts to imitate a fleeing baitfish, making it versatile for different fishing conditions. This pattern excels in fall runs when salmon and trout are actively feeding before spawning.
